Bare homogeneous AAAC is concentric-lay-stranded consisting of aluminium alloy wires wrapped helically around a central aluminium alloy wire. It is similar in construction and appearance to AAC conductor.
AAAC conductor has many advantages. For example, higher strength to weight ratio than AAC conductor, better corrosion resistance than ACSR conductor, lower power losses than equivalent aluminium layer conductor, more simple accessories.
APPLICATIONS
AAAC is extensively used in overhead electric power transmission and distribution lines which required suitable mechanical strength and electrical conductivity.
AAAC is suitable for the long spans network.
APPLICATION AAAC is used as a bare overhead conductor for power transmission and distribution lines, on aerial circuits that require a larger mechanical resistance than AAC, and a better corrosion resistance than ACSR. The sag characteristics and the strength-to-weight ratio of AAAC is better than both AAC / ACSR. CONSTRUCTION
